A couple of years ago, I was a big fan of Adriaan Tijsseling’s Ecto blogging client software. Some interface changes and a required paid license (after I’d already donated quite a bit when it was freeware) soured me on it, and I switched to using MarsEdit or just posted using the WordPress web interface.

I decided to see what Ecto looked like nowdays after hearing of a recent update, and all I can say is “WOW”. Everything’s back in a single window (like I like it), the interface is great, functional, and beautiful. I’ve just paid the very reasonable $17.95 for a permanent license, and will be using it for all of my WordPress-powered sites from now on.
